I first started trying to LD just over a month ago. I also have been smoking dope heavily every day for a couple of years.
In the last month i have had about 3 disappointingly short LDs (a few minutes max), and my DR has been mediocre. Yesterday i decided to not smoke to see the effect it would have on LD and DR...
After several hours of sleep (at a time when i would normally have been comatose had i smoked), i had a friggin legendary LD. I had perfect clarity and perfect lucidity. Dream time seemed to be several hours at least (i also remembered about 3-4 other dreams, usually i remember 1 max). I had the best time of my life :bowdown: . I have tried many drugs, and i would go as far as to say last nights experience was far superior to any drug i have tried (i will post my dream in the dream experience section incase anyone is interested...).
I never thought the day would come, but i am actually gonna quit smoking. :yumdumdoodledum:
If only i could sleep all the time. Oh well.

Wow! That's awesome to hear. Congratulations, man! My LDs never last longer than 30 seconds usually. However, I'm working on it. Yeah, lucid dreaming is better than any drug. Even when your LD only lasts for 30 seconds if not less. Maybe post the link to the dream experience thread here? I would like to read about it.

Congratulations Sparrower! I used to smoke all the time in high school. One of the best decisions I've ever made is giving it up. I'm happy for you. Good luck on your LDs!

Personally, I've never tried weed and have no inclination to do so. From what I've heard in my three years on the forum, though, weed kills recall and lucidity for just about everybody.
Good to hear of your success, hope it continues!

Hey thx for your support. Funkman your story gives me some hope that i will be able to quit with time... LD is probably the one and only thing that could make ma quit.
Peace.

Good deal Sparrower.
I am not that adamantly against smoking pot. I do have my opinions about it.
But what I will say is I am really tired of sooo many post that ask whether pot aids lucid dreaming.
I hope many people read this post. :)

Im a somewhat casual smoker and have played around with smoking and dream recall.... generally if I smoke within an hour or two before going to bed I have a very low chance of remembering my dreams... but there have been many times where im coming down from a high and go to bed (about 2-3 hours after smoking) and I can still remember most of my dreams. Im sure it does effect them to an extent but thats why I try to avoid smoking at least 5 hours before going to bed. I still manage to recall 2 dreams a night minimum, usually around 5+
I take LD'ing seriously enough to avoid smoking at night and I think that certainly helps.

This is pretty much globally known - Weed kills dream recall, and usually vividness as well. I used to smoke weed 3-4 days per week, but now I only smoke weed on parties. The thing is, my dream recall has gone up, sorta kinda. I can't really add much to what has already been said, but now you know. Staying sober for a day makes your recall/vividness/level of consciousness go up. More consciousness = more lucidity. :)
PS: ..Pot? Pot? It's weed, you .. you .. you .. I don't know what!

Good point, But one that has been made a Gazillion of Times.
Anything that works as a Depressant will Make you sleep Comatically deep with little to no dreams: Weed, Alcohol, Sleeping Pills, Cough Syrup...etc
I smoke Marijuana merceyless like Bob Marley and I still have mad Spectaculair Lucid Dreams. AS long as I don't smoke anything at least 1 hour prior to sleep.
But ppl PLEASE don't start a new Topic about this. It's been discussed and by know well known for a long time.
